Going for a small grocery shopping after taking ds to school & making an effort in a neighboring town to see bike selections. If I'm unsuccessful, I'll just order online & get him something else for the actual day. We're already planning on taking him to chuckecheese after school so I bet he'd be super happy as is. Just taking it day by day. He's very easy to please for the most part so definitely taking advantage that it's just the 3 of us this year. So stressfree, it's great.
Oh, look what got delivered. The Ecto Cooler that was marked delivered last Thursday. It was on my doorstep at 8:15. The box is a mess and I would guess it's been sitting outside for a week.
DP said she'd try it but I'm going to guess its bad. Ugh.
Upside is we have another shipment of Ecto Cooler coming today via UPS not the USPS so that should help it make it here.
waffles, there are no words for that package. I don't know what Ecto Cooler is, but I can't imagine a whole lot of products that would have survived whatever countless things that box has been through.
Trying to cram all the things on my to do list that didn't get done earlier this week into this one day today. MH will be working on one of th vehicles all weekend, so LO are going to work on projects, go to an event, and hang with a relative here and there. I have a feeling the weekend is going to fly by.

It's a beverage from the 90s. Lol. It made a comeback with the new Ghostbusters movie. DP was obsessed with the stuff back then and is again now. It's hard to find now that they are remaking it because so many people want it.
Holy shit waffles, that box is fucked up! I'm glad you have another order coming in. WTF?
I know! I had filed a complaint with USPS which they acknowledged yesterday so I emailed the postmaster photos of the damaged box, the clear shopping label, and the deliver notice on my Amazon account.
Amazon refunded me last week but I want the post office to at the very least apologize and tell me what they are doing to in prove this. I mean the box is clearly labeled pantry and contained food products.

I was starting to lose hope after going to a different Walmart & target but TRU delivered for once. Found the bike & they price matched to what it is online (15 bucks cheaper.) They didn't have any In a box in the back so I took the display one which was on the highest shelf so I doubt was used at all & they didn't charge me the 10 buck assembly fee they normally do. Woohoo!

I'm taking DS to our local minor league baseball game this evening. He's so excited!
In the meantime I'm running errands and cleaning the house. I'm enjoying my part time back to work transition. One and a half more weeks before my classes start.

Ah. As soon as I read this, I remembered. I just didn't recognize the name alone because it wasn't big where I am from, probably due to lack of access in MiddleOfNowhere, Rural USA. I definitely wasn't a baby of the 90s, so don't feel old, lildis .

Less than an hour until I get DS. This week has been a wash (well it was only 3 days though.) I've been too busy to really feel the difference. Lol Maybe next week will be more relaxing!
I think I am of a similar age as lildis and helenahhandbasket. My parents were def not cool (DH is still amazed how much I managed to miss from 80s and 90s music and tv) I was definitely not aware of EctoCool, but I (or my parents) might be excused by being on the other side of the globe. The only thing I knew about US foodstuffs was green jell-o, which emigrated family of my granddad sent over to them sometimes.
All rambling aside, that package looks like it's had a rough journey, I hope your complaint helps them improve service.
Emerging today after the introductory week of school. We had a lot of workshops and talks and it was nice to get to know some fellow students, but from now we must all study from home. On the one hand I like that I don't lose time going to and from classes, but I am worried it will be a bit lonely. Last day was full of arts: music, visual arts and literature, and now I am all excited. The practical part starts next week, when the primary schools start again.
DD's playgroup/preschool also starts on Monday and the week after I'll start my new/old job, tutoring HS students.
For my weekend I am torn between being lazy and enjoying the quiet before the storm and preparing. I may manage a bit of both.

First week of school is done!! Although only 3 days, no issues at all. DS is a school pro. He also got 3 stickers in a row on the calendar sheet the teacher sends home for us to initial. When I got him, he was very excited to tell me he ate all his pizza & carrots for lunch. He also had gym today & he said they used the computers at computer lab today. I guess the past two days were instructional because he said they didn't use them. All in all, good stuff! I'm so elated everything has gone so smoothly & he's so happy every day.

We're home. Spontaneously decided to hit up the splash pad after dinner. Then we tried out an ice cream shop right down the street from it. Gotta soak up summer til the very end! Not helping my weight loss efforts but yolooo
